BEREA -- A developing story out of Browns Training Camp in Berea.
<TABLE align=right><TBODY><TR><TD align=middle>

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>The Browns tell us offensive lineman, Ryan Tucker, has tested positive for steroids.

The positive test means Tucker will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season.

Tucker will still be allowed to participate in training camp practices and pre-season games.

The Browns will now be forced to make a decision as to who replaces Tucker. The first option will likely be Kevin Shaffer who would have to move from left to right guard.

Not too often you actually hear someone admit to using without a denial.

"I didn't intend to compromise the integrity of the NFL, my team," Tucker said following Friday's morning practice. "I want to apologize to the fans, my family. It's been a long road. I was pretty down and out last year and my attempt to come back I took a banned substance.

"I'm going to fulfill this punishment and get it behind me."
